I have looked at the symptoms of Fibro and CFS and I just don't have them. Maybe there is another similar syndrome that does coincide.

I have been thinking about it a lot. Part of me thought it was good because it could be mind over matter and with some different techniques I could improve it myself. Then part of me worries about worrying and causing anxiety. Like if you are already a little stressed about something I would hate to then worry about the stress making it hard to stay out of bed. It would be a double whammy I guess. So I am just going to keep track of what happens.

There may be other clues in the article. I believe it describes other high incidence conditions that produce non-gi symptoms that frequently coincide with IBS. Good luck with your search.

That's a good idea. Keep a daily journal of your general mood, what you ate, the weather (sunny, cloudy, rainy, etc.) and see if any pattern is noticeable.
Hopefully you'll find an answer (and share it with us).
Good luck.

I like the point in the article about one's parents expressing more health complaints very often. Quote:
More frequent attention to mild physical symptoms can be learned, however, and can become a habit. As with most things, such habitual over-attention is probably most easily learned in childhood. It would seem reasonable, for example, that a child could get into the habit of noticing physical symptoms more if his or her parents are always talking about their own symptoms. We have recently found(13) that the more medical problems the parents in the childhood home had, the more general physical symptoms adult IBS patients report. The possible consequence of a childhood where the child grew up with parents or others who were seriously ill, is a tendency to interpret common normal physical sensations as symptoms of serious illness. Such a serious view of symptoms can also be modeled after the parent's approach to common illness. Dr. Whitehead and colleagues found in a telephone survey of 832 adults 20 years ago(14) that people whose parents paid more attention to cold or flu symptoms in childhood were more likely to view such symptoms as serious in adulthood and to visit doctors for them. They were also more likely to have IBS diagnosis.
